People who are fit found to have better memories and less chance of developing Alzheimer's disease
dailymail.co.uk
Regular exercise in old age could keep the mind young.
Evidence is growing that fitter people have bigger brains and better memories.
Keeping fit may even trigger the growth of new cells in the brain’s memory hub – helping protect against Alzheimer’s disease.
British experts say that what is good for the heart is also good for the head - and that even brisk walking is beneficial.
The latest evidence for that exercise boosts the brain as well as the body is in a special edition of the journal NeuroImage.
It includes a study from the University of Kentucky in the US, in which 30 men and women in their 50s and 60s were put through heart and lung tests while running on a treadmill.
They also underwent brain scans.
The results showed blood flow to the brain – and so the supply of oxygen and vital nutrients – to be higher in those who were fitter.
